Mullen Automotive CEO David Michery addressed shareholders in an open letter regarding the recent reverse stock split. The split was approved at a shareholders meeting on Dec. 18, 2023, as a measure to comply with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement and avoid delisting. Michery acknowledged the difficulty of the decision, given past dilutive splits, and the need to raise capital in 2024. He emphasized the importance of remaining on a major exchange for financing and long-term value creation, despite some shareholders' opposition to the reverse split.
